What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 July 2025
Cheddington is a happy school, which is full of joy and laughter. Pupils arrive at school each morning excited to find out what the day has in store for them. Pupils' attendance is, therefore, high. Pupils routinely demonstrate the values of honesty, excellence, appreciation, respect and teamwork, which sit at the heart of the school. They get on well with each other. High expectations for behaviour permeate the school. Pupils behave well. The school is highly ambitious for what pupils can achieve. Pupils benefit from a good quality of education. Pupils follow a curriculum that is exciting and engaging. They soak up what they learn. Pupils are curious. Opportunities for them to think hard in lessons are plentiful. Staff are adept at deepening pupils' knowledge so that they know more about the different subjects they learn. Pupils' personal development is exceptional. This is a school where pupils lead the way. They make a difference to the school and wider community. They use their initiative and come up with different roles they would like to carry out. For example, pupils recently asked to become librarians. Similarly, pupils are keen to suggest new clubs, such as guitar club, which has become popular.
What the school should improve
- The activities provided for children in the early years are not always effective in helping them achieve the intended learning. As a result, some children develop gaps in their understanding and do not learn as well as they could. The school should ensure that the design of tasks promotes children's learning effectively to support them to achieve highly.
- There is variability in how well staff adapt learning and provide precise support to meet the individual needs of pupils with SEND. As a result, some pupils develop gaps in their learning. The school should ensure that staff know how to adapt learning and provide targeted support more consistently, so that pupils with SEND are better supported to achieve well.
